Summary
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to describe basic aircraft design concepts, explain the principles of loading, stress, fatigue, and corrosion of aerospace materials, and characterize their properties. They will be able to identify and explain the design and manufacturing methods used in aircraft construction, including methods of joining materials. Graduates will be able to analyze the structural design of wings, tail surfaces, control surfaces, the fuselage, landing gear, floors, doors, and windows. They will be able to assess the suitability of the materials and structural solutions used with regard to their loads, operational stresses, and service life. Graduates will be able to independently formulate and defend expert opinions regarding aircraft design and make technically sound decisions when evaluating their structural components.
